Description
In recent years Gas Electron Multipliers (GEMs) have proven to be reliable amplification stages at high beam rates, and can be used also in Time Projection Chambers (TPCs). Our group developed a double GEM based, finely segmented pad readout TPC for beam monitoring. The utilized GEMs and the custom-design FPGA data acquisition enables rate capability of 1 MHz for a 10 cm$^{2}$ beam spot while providing excellent track-by-track position and angular information, better than 0.1 mm and 1 mrad respectively. The wide dynamic range of the system enables identification from $^{4}$He up to $^{84}$Kr using ionizaton measurement. The performance of the detector and the read-out was tested at the Institute of Modern Physics, Lanzhou, China, at the RIBLL beamline.
